Yes, 50 psi is too high for a tire pressure. The recommended tire pressure for most vehicles is typically between 30-35 psi. Overinflating the tires can lead to reduced traction, uneven wear, and potential blowouts.
Yes, definitely too high. It should ideally be 50-80 psi.
It refers to the tire monitoring system... Mainly meaning that one or more of the tires are either too high or too low in pressure. Check the pressure of each tire and make sure they are all at the required PSI (look on the inside of the drivers side door for the PSI) The 2007 Jettas have been having some problems with the tire pressure monitoring system, they are very sensitive, even a 1 % drop in pressure causes it to go on.
every tire is different. You can find out how much pressure your tire needs by looking on the side of the tire or their is a sticker on the inside of the driver side door that tells you too. 32 to 35 psi cold
A tire pressure monitoring system may produce a warning if the tire pressure is too high or too low. High pressure may cause the tire to explode or fail in hot temperature. Low tire pressure causes the tire to break down more easily.
The tires must be inflated to the precise psi for the light to go off. If the tire pressure is too high, the light will stay on. The system should reset itself, after proper inflation, within a few miles of driving.
If this is in regards to the air pressure gauge on a car warning you of incorrect tire pressure, it can alert you to a tire problem. Too low or too high of tire pressure can cause tire failure, which may not only be costly to replace the tire, but may also be dangerous if the tire fails at speed. As for air gauges on units like compressors for garages, it allows you to monitor the air pressure in the tank. If it does get too high, it may catastrophically decompress, but this only happens in extreme case of failure in the compressor shut-off switch and in the pressure relief valve failing. The gauges are more helpful to determine if you can run tools off of the pressure in the compressor. For instance, some paint guns designed to run at 40 psi. You would use a regulator to maintain 40 psi and monitor it with a gauge. Too much or too little pressure and the spray quality will be poor. There are dozens or hundreds of other uses as well in that same vein.

I normally inflate them at around 30 - 32 psi. Don't leave tyres too low as you can only cause them damage. Too high pressure will affect ride and road holding etc. suggest you consult tyre manufacturer data.
At high speed, there is a lot of flexing of the rubber, which causes heat, which heats the air inside the tire, which increases the air pressure. If the pressure was too high to begin with, the increased air pressure can be high enough to cause the tire to burst.
YES.
Yes, 40 PSI may be too much for standard car tires, as most passenger vehicles typically recommend a pressure range between 30 to 35 PSI. Over-inflating tires can lead to reduced traction, increased wear in the center of the tread, and a harsh ride. Always refer to the vehicle's owner manual or the tire placard located on the driver's side door jamb for the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.
No, not too high and no, you have no cause for concern.
